Alfa Laval, being a leading designer and manufacturer of marine boilers, wishes to highlight the importance of a properly adjusted Boiler Plant in order to maximize uptime and minimize the operating costs.

For an optimized combustion performance and an overall efficiently running boiler with prolonged boiler parts lifetime, Alfa Laval recommends periodic automation inspection, as a part of preventive maintenance and uptime protection.

Boiler Automation Inspection can be done in one day and includes the following:

• Assessment of performance
  • Condition and function verification of burner management system
  • Condition and function verification of field instrumentation
  • Troubleshooting error / alarm history
  • Operational test of fuel changeover process
  • Assessment & optimization of combustion performance
  • Recommissioning or burner adjustments
• Service report
  • Presents findings of service visit
  • Analyzes causes of damage / performance drop
  • Recommendations for improvement
  • Repair or upgrade options proposal

Arranging an automation inspection by Alfa Laval offers the following key advantages:

• Combustion optimization and boiler performance (direct cost savings via optimized maintenance planning)
• Suggestions for operational & equipment improvement (proper water treatment, feedwater steaming temperature, blowdown intervals, available upgrades etc.)
• Reduced consumption of spares, operating & maintenance costs
• Worldwide coverage by strategically located hubs in Singapore, China, US and major European ports

Last but not least, the automation inspection package is offered at a fixed cost.
